I know I haven’t blogged much at all this week, but I promise to try harder next week. It’s just been kinda busy in my world lately. That doesn’t mean I didn’t collect a slew of new music fo rthe mixtape though. I listened to a lot of great stuff from around the ‘net this week, and a couple of new albums/leaks too. I won’t go through them all this week, as I’m pressed for time even now, but it’s a fairly longs mixtape this week because I couldn’t bear to cut out some of the extra tracks. Anyway, enjoy.
Tracklisting:
Alan Wilkis - Burnin’
Amos Lee - Street Corner Preacher
Annie Stela - Lovesong
Benji Hughes - So Well
Calico Horse - Father Feed Me

Alrighty- I’ve been feeling a bit refreshed this week after an extended weekend beach getaway to the Gulf Coast last week (except for yesterday, and I’ve only got myself to blame for that). But the shortened week also left me a little bit behind in my musical quest for new schtuff. Thanks to Aubriane and 5andman for your comments, I only hope I can stand up to such high standards- which is why I chose not to include any Alanis Morissette on this week’s mixtape. What I do have is a blend of new, slighty less than new, and all-around awesome tracks. Adele’s album 19 has been around for a bit, but the new single was produced by SF fav Mark Ronson, and I happened to hear it playing twice this week, so I’m still calling it new. Foxboro Hot Tubs (A.K.A. Green Day in disguise) aren’t new either, but they’ve expanded this little side project to include 6 new tracks, and a tour. Local H have been around since before SF was nuts, and they’ve got new stuff out as of last week. Oh, and if you missed the last post, Matthew Perryman Jones is playing Smith’s Olde Bar tonight with Evan McHugh- so, if you’re an Atlantan, come out and say hello. As usual, download/listen/love/comment?

This week’s image comes from Paul Goyette in honor of the upcoming holiday. There was an interesting post on one of the “non-music blogs” I regularly read today on how to fly Old Glory with respect. Oh, and last week’s photo re-creation? It didnt’ turn out as well as the original, but the point is that it’s my feet in the pic!

Tonight at Smith’s Olde Bar - Matthew Perryman Jones and Evan McHugh. Both will be on the SFFM today, but don’t wait to get tickets! I’ll be there, you should too.

The new Danger Mouse- produced Beck track is out, and I’ve got it here for you. Not sure what I think of it yet. The big, thumping drums are cool, but the etherial backing voices and even the layered forground vocals are just too indistinct for my liking. Maybe it’ll grow on me.
Beck - Chemtrails
